The Sandcastle Lady

Today was my last day on the beach of the 5 weeks here in Lewes. This was the 27th castle I built, each one different. I met new people, and was happy to see old friends, as well.
God willing, I will be back next August, to build sandcastles.

It really was great to be back on the beach today! First time since Saturday when the rain came. This is Castle #26.

I was just about finished my castle #25 yesterday, at 3pm, watching a big gray cloud that the forecaster said would bring some rain to Lewes Beach at 7:00 last night. The rain started right at 3; a few drops at first, and a lot heavier. I gathered up buckets and carving tools, and took a picture of the now impressionistic looking castle, which the rain softened. Here it is💦 (I admit it looked a lot better than I did, after the rain got me!)

Tomorrow will be the end of 4 weeks here. I will have one more week after this one. Here is Castle # 24. I like this one a lot.

Great day on the beach today, with Sandi, Sam John, and Audrey💕. Jim and Leila stopped by, too.

I had to leave the beach today early, to go to a get together at our friends’ house, so I wasn’t able to do a lot of the roof decorations I like to do. But I was able to finish the castle by 3pm.
It was nice to have Linda Mouradian helping me with her specialty sand shrubs!

it was a little bit warmer today, working on Castle #21.

Not quite as much wind today, when I was working on castle#21.
What a nice surprise to have Leila and Jim McIntyre stop by on the beach and visit a bit!

Lots of wind today, coming from the East. Not many people for Labor Day on the beach.
This is Castle #20.

Sunday, Labor Day Weekend, and Castle #19.
A big surprise was seeing Anne Flaherty, my niece,, and her husband Gerry, who stopped on their way home from Ocean City Maryland!
